Restaurant Reviews
Hello Readers! I was planning a baking cake date with my nephew and I started thinking about my own childhood. I realized that I have enjoyed cooking even as a child. I remember my mother purchased a children’s cook book for me and I immediately started experimenting with the recipes. Mom and Dad would sit down to meals of Hawaiian Meatballs, or Baked Cheese Chicken and I got brave enough to create my own recipe - Nikki Von Franks (just cut up franks with rice and corn). Mom often remembers and laughs at my creations as a child. My parents never declined my meals and always cleaned their plates. My little sister ate everything I put in front of her - she was my first food critic and I never got a bad food review…I love my family.
So, this week I thought we should include some fun kid recipes that you can introduce to your family. It’s a great way to introduce cooking skills, discuss healthy foods and a wonderful fun way to bond. Don’t mind the mess, that can be cleaned up … the memories, though, will last forever. Try these recipes with the little ones and feel free to send a few pics of the end results with your little chef.
Hello Readers! I love the springtime…the birds singing, the trees starting to bud, tulips in bloom and my birthday! I also love the spring because to me that’s when you start anew.
Hello Readers! This week hubby and I were invited out to dinner and were joined by 5 other couples - so, it was a huge dinner party! My friend found a place that he wanted to share with us - not only for the food but the experience. We dined at a restaurant called Valenca, which is a small Portuguese restaurant located on the north side of Elizabeth. We entered through the front door (the fancy side I was told to enter) and found this to be awkward, as there was no hostess be found and we actually stumbled into a private affair - which we quickly back tracked. We made our way to the back bar, where we found our friends already seated and sipping on sangria. We noticed all the tables were full, with a very nice ambience, family friendly, and there were literally glasses of sangria on EVERY table.
